Best Place to Commune With Nature

Zilker Park

With botanical gardens, a nature center, countless play areas, and even an annual kite festival, Zilker Park never gets old and neither do her visitors. Children (and adults, for that matter) of any age find a favorite place here, from the Blues on the Green music fest during the summer at Rock Island to soccer tournaments on the vast grassy fields all throughout the year. The Trail of Lights in December brings in people from all over the country, and the Hillside Theater every July and August is always an outstanding family destination. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, Zilker is as much a cultural as it is a recreational hub.
